The ${q}\bar{q}$ spectra and the structure of the scalar mesons

arXiv:hep-ph/0309319 · doi:10.1063/1.1799731

Abstract

The ${q}\bar{q}$ spectrum is studied within a chiral constituent quark model. It provides with a good fit of the available experimental data from light (vector and pseudoscalar) to heavy mesons including some recent results on charmonium. The $0^{++}$ light mesons and the new $D$ states measured at different factories cannot be described as $q\bar q$ pairs and a tetraquark structure is suggested.
